    Yes I have this sometimes, feels like my pule is racing, dizzy and lightheaded and quite breathless as if I cant get full breathes. Even if I don't think im especially anxious at the time

      It's just what happens,I find I'm worse when its very warm or high humidity, which there is across the UK just now. The more u fix on it the worse it'll be,hard to ignore though I know

      Health anxiety as I'm sure u know just waits for anything to jump on and to obsess about, that's just how health anxiety works
